[net.startrek] Third generation Enterprise

cjn@calmasd.UUCP (Cheryl Nemeth) (01/12/85)

Are there any rumors floating around there as to what the replacement
for Enterprise is going to be? (If I were/was Starfleet I'd be buying
surplus Klingon ships. If a Klingon scout can trash a Federation heavy
cruiser/starship (even a not-fully-operational one) what can a BIG 
Klingon ship do?!?)

Well, yeah, that little scout did kinda nail the Enterprise, but it
was a very jurry-rigged Enterprise that was limping back after a 
battle with Khan.  Though, I admit, that little tiny scout did pack
quite a wallop.  Perhaps they will do better with their new flying
bathtubs...

I think it would be rather neat if they continued somewhat with what
the D.C. Comic Monthly Star Trek went after ST III:  Bring back the
Alternate Universe from "Mirror, Mirror"!  The Kirk there has spent
the 15 years after his last meeting in this Universe in persuit of a
means to get back to "this" Universe to have his revenge on our
Captain.  

And the end (so far) was our Capt. regaining (temporarily) the
Alternate Universe's Enterprise.

And also interesting is how the "Empire" became the Alternate:  it
seemed that during the Romulan war, the Earth lost, and was subjugated
for ten years.  At this time, a popular revolution succeeded, and
humans regained control of Earth.  The Empire was formed under the
auspoces that humans shall never be dominated by another race, and
that they must rule over all.  And the Empire was born, included
conquered vassals of Klingons, Romnulan, and VULCANS.

And who wants to take a guess how Sarek and Amanda were killed in this
Alternate Universe???

If I receive a responce that people are interested, I will be willing
to type in summaries of the various D.C. Books.  I do highly recommend
these to anyone interested in Trek: they are quite good.  The latest issued
is the April #13, where Kirk and Co. are in the Alternate Universe
about to lead a battlefleet to this Universe...
